The Best Valentine’s Day Dinners in Dubai - The 2026 Edition

Valentine’s Day in Dubai doesn’t come in just one flavour. It’s not all red roses and set menus (unless you want it to be). It’s rooftop sunsets, candlelit corners, beachside tables, chef-led tasting menus, and places where the vibe matters just as much as what’s on the plate.


Whether you’re planning a big romantic gesture, a low-key date night, a Galentine’s dinner, or simply using Valentine’s as an excuse to eat somewhere exceptional, Dubai delivers - every time.


From intimate hideaways to buzzy hotspots worth dressing up for, this Raemona roundup brings together the Valentine’s Day dinners in Dubai we actually rate, for atmosphere, food, and that hard-to-define something special. No clichés. Just great places to celebrate love, however you choose to define it.
